Flat Top is soo cool, he makes ice cubes jealous: http://youtu.be/aCz86qY4udk

Starting a thread can definitely be trolling. Had you called your thread "All we need is just another prick on a Wal" - THAT would be trolling

Have a look at the Drophead http://www.pmtonline.co.uk/15w-all-valve-drophead-combo-amp?utm_source=google&utm_medium=shopping&gclid=Cj0KEQjw44exBRCu8vfS_bPEtNoBEiQACrt00wgusFtXjoKD_gzuEHA-7pPneNU75AlbsL7wrKBilpEaArdN8P8HAQ

I've seen it a couple of times today

Great stuff. To me, the two Darkglass ones were the best, and the B3K just pipped it. Disappointments were the Blueberry and the TC. I'd love to hear a Cog Knightfall in this test

Northwest Guitars and Rothko and Frost both do nitro paint in cans

I change the entire set around once a year

[quote name='skychaserhigh' timestamp='1444979679' post='2887733'] my credit card wouldn't go through for some reason but let me take the vanderkley cab home anyway [/quote] Now that's good service!

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1444917001' post='2887315'] Thanks folks, bass is with new owner now. [/quote] So, is the new owner a proper Shagster?

[quote name='KevB' timestamp='1444852017' post='2886766'] Ah but the real question is were you headlining or support to the puppet show and did you do jazz odyssey? [/quote] Hahaha

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1444901750' post='2887084'] I've been tempted by a couple - and I'm not a big fan and already have too many basses!! [/quote] I wonder whether the OP included your Cora in the stats - not a clone, but definitely inspired by the Jazz bass.

They have lots of new material ready - this is just the tip of the Iceberg. Track two is particularly good - a real Gem Hopefully the album will Romaine in the charts for ages ..aaand I'm spent

Beard suits you Neil

I'm having difficulty envisioning what you mean by horizontal and vertical stripes - can you post some example pics please?

Not a monstrosity, but too squat and rotund for my taste. If you wore that on a strap, it would hang in such a way that the headstock was out of reach!

If I need to learn a song, I'll usually do it by ear. I found that being familiar with chord tones and chord progressions helps a lot - it makes it easier to anticipate what will come next, and that understanding also helps you to play around with the line a bit later on.

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1444719267' post='2885223'] I do this for 99% of my gigs, don't even bother talking an amp. As long as the PA is full range and there is decent monitoring (nearly always the case with metal venues) you're just lugging an amp and cab around to basically have it as a prop on stage. [/quote] I think that he meant pedal>power amp>cab

Next gig is at Haloween at the lovely Nottingham Contemporary. Lots going on as part of Black History Month [size="2"]http://www.nottinghamcontemporary.org/event/still-we-rise-black-history-month[/size]

As per above, probably not octave unless you want a synthy tone. LPF is the way to go.

Hockley Hustle big city centre charity festival sprwad over about 40 venues: We were supposed to be on at 3:30 We soundchecked at 5.00 The PA dude had many issues, including lack of cables and lack of grace under pressure. Gig turned ouf to be pretty good though and thd later time meant a decent crowd.

Lonnie Plaxico's Melange album is probably my favourite album of the genre. This one, Windy City, is quite slap bass, but has superb energy, especially during the solos. What I love about LP's bass playing is that it is soo deep and tight with the rhythm section. I was going to trawl the thread to make sure it hadn't been posted already, but with only three views on You Tube, I didn't bother http://youtu.be/2MXcc5_Ia4s

Don't we all?

One more thing then I'll shup up.. If the bass EQ and the Avalon's presets are not enough for you, there are possibilities depending on what power amp you have. Mine, like many, offers no EQ - it just amplifies. However, my previous power amp, the Crown XTi2000 was much more flexible. As well as hpf, sub and crossover settings, you could plug it into your computer and create up to 25 (IIRC) presets with whatever boost/cut at whatever frequencies you want. I had a play and created some notch presets (to dial out boom in various rooms) although never needed it. You could create one and call it "Jazz Rounds" or another called "P Bass Flats" If you wanted.
